Figure 3.

Giemsa and in silico bands for all chromosomes. Short (p) and long (q) arms are positioned left and right, respectively. Giemsa bands obtained from Francke (14) are shown in black ideograms. The bands depicted in black, gray, and white represent euchromatins, and the darkness of each band reflects the shading. Pericentromeric heterochromatin and heteromorphic regions of chromosomes 1, 3, 9, 16, 19, and Y are depicted by crosshatched and horizontal lines, respectively. In silico bands constructed by using windows of 2.5 and 9.3 Mb are shown in blue. The thin lines between Giemsa and in silico bands denote aligned G bands. The coordinates of in silico bands for each chromosomal arm are available at the web site www.cib.nig.ac.jp/dda/home.html.
